With all the warm weather here in the Northeast, Santa and his elves might have to modify their attire.

I also heard him talking with a few stations in San Diego which is closer to 450 miles form here.
Came back to 7 and the band was so long I couldn't hear net control. I heard a station in 7 land talking to net control and that was it.

Short haul contacts generally suffer. Not unusual for this time of year.
